===The Companies of The Dread Fleet=== ====Black Cutlasses==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> ''Masterminds, Disciplinarians, Stubborn Lot'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Tacticians, strategists, planners. The Black Locks put large emphasis on planning, but the Locks of the Black Cutlasses take it a step further. These marines always try to anticipate the movements of an enemy and utilize counters while fighting thanks to their Witch Doctors. Of all the companies, they are the second largest one. When it comes to devising plans that include multiple members from other companies, then the Black Cutlasses mark positions from which the other companies should start from and simply do what they are good at. They are also one of the most disciplined and balanced organization-wise. Current Leader: Ahab 'Blackbeard' Eduardo Teach. Master of The Dread Fleet, Chapter Master, Captain of The Black Cutlasses. </div> </div> ====Crimson Blades==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Courage, Blood, Silent Rage'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> The largest and most assault oriented company. The Crimson Blades have a reputation for being courageous and uncompromising against anyone they fight against and are known for their reckless yet devastating attacks (which usually start from hitting strategically important targets with an Assault Marine strike, sowing havoc and then steamrolling their enemies while still confused). Due to the amount of casualties they produce, the Crimson Blades have a larger than nominal number of Apothecaries. It is also common for said Apothecaries to join their lads whenever there will be a probability of large collateral damage among them. While Black Locks go the additional length to save civilians and make sure there will be as little collateral damage as possible, the Crimson Blades take this to a higher level. Even suggesting harming civilians or even not caring about collateral damage among them is more than enough for these Locks to go ballistic as certain Imperial and Space Marine Commanders found out the hard way. Current Leader: Peter 'The Blooded'. Captain and Head Apothecary of The Crimson Blades. </div> </div> ====Holy Treasurers==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Lords of Fortune, Dealers of Misfortune, Filthy Rich'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Well trained, incredibly lucky and disgustingly wealthy. Those are the prime characteristics of a Holy Treasurer. These Black Locks are known to be capable traders as they are warriors. Although they have a well balanced force, they aren’t that capable like the Black Cutlasses when it goes for discipline. Despite that, they are incredibly lucky when it comes to finding their ways through and convenient situations while on the battlefield. Thanks to their talent for trade (combined with quick thinking), the company gained many highly exotic weapons that their elites and command structure use. Current Leader: Captain 'Booty Maker' Michiel. </div> </div> ====Rum Grails==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Epicurean Brawlers, Keepers of Holiness, Camaraderie Personified'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Competent in battle. Gourmets of various alcoholic beverages and lovers of both shanties and parties. Rum Grails are the more easygoing marines and even more approachable by others. Though despite being more approachable due to this easy going nature, the company has a larger than nominal number of Chaplains to motivate the marines into doing things other than fighting, training or hosting parties, so it’s common for Novice Chaplains to lead Lots into combat and make them more useful instead of sitting in the Solitarium. Rum Grails are specialists in medium range combat, thus they always carry large numbers of flamer and melta based weapons. The Chaplains are also responsible for the production of the Chapter’s most holy drink. The Lock Rum. In addition, the Company Chaplains guard the Great Relic Vault, where the weapons of the first Captains are held along with Chaplain representatives from other Companies. Current Leader: Brother Captain Sparrow. </div> </div> ====Void Plunderers==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Tireless Craftsmen, Hard Working Cybermancers, Ship Hunters'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Technologically the most advanced of the ten companies. The Void Plunderers have tighter connections with Constructor Fleet Tinkerer and are tasked with gaining new ships for the Dread Fleet. While every other company can get one or two new ships in battle with heretics or renegades, it is these marines that gain the most ships. The best they leave for the Chapter, while the rest they give to the Calician Fleets. Hard working, disciplined, and in some cases stubborn and resolute. These are the characteristics of a Void Plunderer. Due to the amount of equipment they have, the Void Plunderers have a larger than nominal number of Techmarines (among them known as Cog Brothers), and thanks to their connections, they can even afford certain techno-artefacts that only few have. Current Leader: Dreadnought Marv 'The Mutilated' (Officially), 1st Mate 'Iron Drake' Francis (acting in Marv's name). </div> </div> ====Myst Graves==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Assassins, Cutthroats, Warriors in the Dark'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> A company known for its cloak and dagger tactics, as well as its mastery of guerrilla and psychological warfare. The Myst Graves are grim and stoic individuals with a somewhat pessimistic and cynical point of view on the state of the Imperium and galaxy in general. Although they are who they are, these Black Locks will fight for the Emperor regardless of what they think. Of all the companies, they are the only ones that still use Scouts. Additionally they can afford to have Officio Assassinorum Agents among their ranks, even going so far as letting them walk around their ships (with the sole exception of Eversor Assassins) without the Assassin’s handlers. How they did this and what pacts they made with the Assassinorum Temples are completely unknown. Current Leader: Captain Rackham. </div> </div> ====Blazing Cannons==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Hailstorm of Devastation, Fortress Killers, Fortifiers'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> The heavy weapons specialists of the Chapter. When the situation requires it, the Blazing Cannons can deliver as much firepower as they can blades to clash with their enemies. Masters of rapid redeployment, as well as great besiegers and defenders, these Black Locks will unleash hailstorms of devastation on anyone who strikes at the Imperium. Current Leader: Captain Chantal de Sores. </div> </div> ====Warp Cutters==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Riders of The Warp, Lightningborn, Adventurers'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Curious, adventurous and lightning fast. The Warp Cutters are the Black Lock’s reconnaissance specialists, as well as a force that puts even more emphasis on lightning strikes and hit and run tactics. Thanks to their advanced sensors, and being the only proud owners of their own light jet-bikes, the Warp Cutters are extremely mobile adversaries for any enemy of the Imperium and difficult to catch off guard. Current Leader: Captain Henrik Morganius. </div> </div> ====Hex Company==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Mystics, Necromancers, Spirit-Tongued'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Of all the ten companies, the Hex Company is one of the most mysterious and smallest of the companies. While the Black Cutlasses and Crimson Blades hold positions of the two largest companies, while the other ones are smaller yet still quite numerous, it is estimated that these Black Locks number somewhere in 200 Astartes. Of all the companies, they have the largest number of Witch Doctors and it is common for Aspirants to lead their lads to battle. This company got the Inquisition’s eyes on them. Once even a Inquisitor tried to inspect them only for him and his acolytes to go native. Rumours have it that they have mastered arts of raising the dead. Some eyewitnesses even managed to have a glimpse of how Hex Doctors raise prepared dead bodies from coffin-like containers. More importantly is that any records of them are either damaged beyond recovery, or heavily distorted. Whatever the situation, the Inquisition will never rest until they’ll find out more about this. Current Leader: The Samdi Baron, also known as the 'Shepherd of Souls'. </div> </div> ====Serpent Watch==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1100px"> ''Bane of Traitors, Atoners, Eternal Hunters'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Once known as the Corsair Hearts, now one of the most unforgiving company when it comes to anything that is even remotely associated with Chaos. After the betrayal of Captain Jones and his fall into the service of the Dark Gods, the remaining Corsair Hearts under the guidance of Inquisitor Otto were reforged after a century into a lethal fighting force only second to the likes of the Exorcists Chapter. Serpent Watch Black Locks have access to unique wargear that allows them to have certain advantages against Chaos Marines and Daemons, not to mention a more extended knowledge on the Ruinous Powers (though they always exercise caution when looking into it). When not in combat, they sometimes visit the other companies in order to monitor for corruption among the Locks. Due to that drive to hunt down Chaos, the Inquisition sees them as the first people to contact when investigating rumours on heretical activity among the Calico Stars. Thus the marines have connections to the Inquisition, yet only with those that are considered trusted by the company. The Serpent Watch will try to avoid overzealous Inquisitors and those that are considered Radicals (although they do make rare exceptions in case of these two). Current Leader: Captain Pedro 'The Vengeful'. </div> </div>
